Some journalists, even if they didn't dare to broadcast this information directly, couldn't help but share it with their friends and family.
Faced with such explosive news, their friends and family couldn't resist boasting about their insider knowledge to others.
The news spread quickly.
It soon reached the ears of the hostages' friends and family.
They had already seen their loved ones being held hostage via school announcements, police reports, and live TV news broadcasts. Now, hearing this even more explosive news, their fury became uncontrollable.
What bullshit school shooting! This is clearly a terrorist attack, and those damn politicians had even kept the terrorists' demand for a live broadcast a secret. Did they want their loved ones to die underground?
